For clarification purposes, this game is at the Palestra yet it's a Hawks home game. Those nice people think they can beat us away from their gym so they do the right thing and play it on a neutral court. We will outnumber them at this game as the SJU program is apathetic right now towards Martelli and it seems like their regressing.
This game is a Big 5 game and the 9.5 looks mighty juicy to those not in the know. I've been hard on the Owls lately constantly trying to fade them because I hadn't been a believer. I'm coming around...Three scorers with Moore starting now and Fernandez off the bench is just an amazing way to be. The Hawks can't matchup with Eric and Allen on the inside. O'Brien doesnt want to bang with the bigs. Williamson can only "shut down" one of our guys which leaves a few of the others.
All that said, weird things happen at the Palestra....I think for a half this is close. Maybe less then a half but eventually our depth and sheer awesomeness will overwhelm the Hawks. I never like to lay so many points so I don't have any official plays. Leans for me are St. Blow's 1H, Temple game and the game Under.
Also adding:
Boston -2 -- Delaware is hideous. Blue Hen fans arent going to show up much for this one.
JMU +4 -- The Dukes are a live road dog in this one. Canisius may have trouble with Bowles.
BC/UNC Over 143.5 -- I think that these two will play in the 70's. BC has so many weapons and they play so much better at home.
Buffalo +1.5 -- I think the Bulls are the better team outright. Having watched some St. Peter's games...they play better at home but it's not exactly intimidating in their little gym.
Colorado/Kansas Over 145 -- This is going to be one of those lopsided games where it's like 92-65 or something. Kansas will do most of the work in helping this hit.
Fordham/URI Over 148 -- See above except replace Kansas with Rhode Island.
Eastern Illinois -5 -- Simple fade of NIU on the road.
EIU/NIU Over 141 -- On the road NIU gives up almost 73 points per game. I don't think EIU will mind getting up and down.
Radford -7 -- No Fields for UNCW. Radford's a pretty respectable squad with a couple of good D-1 talents.
Over 141 -- Radford averages 77 at home and UNCW gets a bit leaky away from home too.
WKU/Arky State Over 135.5 -- Western Kentucky overs are on a roll as of late so I'm continuing to ride the wave. Last 5 games they are averaging 80 points.
Wisky Green Bay -5 -- Indiana State is still banged up. I think this one gets ugly.
Long Beach State +7 -- Idaho's guards will meet some just as good as them in LBS. They are 10-5 since 1997 against the Vandals too.
Zags/Pepperdine Over 146.5 -- The Waves don't play much defense so I think the Zags could get in the 80's or 90s.
